Sam Roberts thinks he has all the answers: the purpose of life, the meaning of love, the plan for a perfect future. Until Charly walks into his life.

September 8, 2007This show is great! It is hilarious and then very very sad. I just watched it today and vowed that I would not cry.......well so much for that. I sobbed. For anyone who liked a romance,comedy,cry movie this is the one!

June 17, 2006A bit sappy at times, and cinematically a bit amateur, but this is a timeless story of love and how true love transcends differences and life itself.

April 18, 2006This movie was good. It was sad for him, though if she were a more innocent kind of a person, it would have been even more sad. Definitely.

Josh Bell, Las Vegas Weekly
A competent but self-righteous film that offers little insight into love or faith.

If religious films aren't your bailiwick, stay away. Otherwise, this could be a passable date film. Full Review

David Chute, L.A. Weekly
The movie is too amateurishly square to make the most of its own ironic implications. Full Review

Beers, who, when she's given the right lines, can charm the paint off the wall ... [but] the script goes wrong at several key junctures. Full Review

Bruce Bennett, Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
'Charly' will divide its audience in two separate groups, those reaching for more tissues and those begging for mercy...

Audrey Rock-Richardson, Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)
Charly comes off as emotionally manipulative and sadly imitative of innumerable past Love Story derisions.

Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune
Imagine the CleanFlicks version of 'Love Story,' with Ali MacGraw's profanities replaced by romance-novel platitudes. Full Review

Jeff Vice, Deseret News, Salt Lake City
The romance between the leads isn't as compelling or as believable as it should be. Full Review
